Heyas! So, I'm better, woo! And that means I'm back. I hated not being well enough to sit down, listen to music and blog. Sad face. Now, this is going to be written with a twist. I have a ferret climbing all over me whilst I do it! Haha, well enough about me, this is a blog about Sandi after all...please remember, these are my words, it's just my own format...go easy Thomcats. x
Sandi's sudden claim to fame was horribly judged by critics and fellow artists. James Frost and Robin Hawkins from The Automatic even went so far as to say that "If she was a punk rocker with flowers in her hair she'd get the sh*t kicked out of her by other punk rockers, for having flowers in her hair. I haven't found anyone who's told me they like that song and bought it."
This notion that her success had been carefully sculpted through public relations was echoed by the media commentator Charlie Brooker who said "I've not heard that Sandi Thom single all the way through yet, but I've seen the TV ad about six billion times, and the short, poxy burst on that is more than enough to convince me that if her sudden rise to stardom WASN'T the end result of a shrewd marketing campaign, the implications are terrifying. Because to believe the official story - that thousands of people voluntarily subjected themselves to this sh*t online, then recommended it to their friends - is to lose your faith in mankind completely.".
So how about that? So many people have completely missed the point of our Sandi's song! So it's up to us to spread the word of her music. Come on guys. Let's do it. Also I don't know how acurate it is but I've had a little youtube birdy tell me that Lily Allen was also very...critical of Sandi's work. I'll try and get that confirmed for you guys, promise! Watch this space!

Edit- I can confirm Lily Allen has slammed Sandi for her work in the past. I'm afraid I can't find any quotes of what she said but thankfully Sandi has since given her a piece of her own medicine, so let sleeping dogs lie I guess. Love you guys.
